HubSpot Connect is an integration program with a simple purpose - to connect all of the tools you use and keep them in one place so you no longer need to constantly log in and out of different platforms. It's a handy feature that inbound marketers like you should already be using, especially if you use other software in addition to HubSpot to run your business. Here are 10 HubSpot integrations that every inbound marketer needs to know.

HubSpot Connect is designed to make your experience with the CRM and marketing tool as efficient and effective as possible. Think of it like an ecosystem featuring only top-tier technology, rather than one piece of advanced software.

Recently, the feature was given a major UX and design upgrade so it's now even easier to find, connect and integrate the tools you use. Here's what we think are 10 of the most important HubSpot integrations that'll really help your inbound marketing efforts. Just click on them to be taken to the relevant section!

Every marketer will have used SurveyMonkey at some point or other, some regularly and some sporadically. HubSpot has integrated SurveyMonkey within its Connect feature, allowing you to bring surveys closer into your inbound marketing strategies.

This lets you gain deeper insights into your contacts, from segmenting contacts based on their responses and seamlessly passing their details onto your sales team, to managing content preferences so respondents only ever get the topics they want to see.

2. Databox- The KPI reporting tool that every marketer needs

HubSpot comes with its own reporting tool, so you might be wondering why you'd need Databox. The Databox integration actually complements HubSpot Reporting as it provides live data and makes it much easier for you to track your marketing KPIs from various data sources at once. Monitoring your entire acquisition funnel has never been easier. Databox can then end alerts to Slack, email or your mobile so you're always kept up to date on metrics.

Find out more on how Databox can enhance HubSpot's built-in reporting tool by pulling in Google Analytics, Facebook and SEMRush data here.

3. Wistia - Analyse video data so you can see what makes your customers tick

You're able to see video engagement on every single contact record, from video thumbnails to the viewers' heatmaps.

Lists and workflows are easily integrated; you can combine email-gathering turnstiles in Wistia with your HubSpot lists, so contacts can be sent directly to a specific list based on their interactions with your videos. Or you can use workflows to automatically roll out the next video your prospect should see. Then, your sales reps can be notified when their leads are watching these key videos so the deals can be closed.

4. Drift - The tool that helps you have better sales conversations

With the Drift integration, not only will you be able to talk to people while they're browsing your site and give them the help that they need, but you'll also be able to see all of that activity right within HubSpot's contact timeline.

Drift merges with Slack and allows you to have conversations with the visitors on your website wherever you are.

6. AdEspresso - Enhances your Facebook Ads

Manually uploading customer lists can take time and errors can often be made. With the AdEspresso integration, you can now easily sync, automate and monitor your custom audiences and lead ads by uploading customer or prospect lists directly onto Facebook's advertising platform and immediately working to target them with advertising. This saves time as you no longer need to manually upload lists and reduces the chance of errors.

7. Seventh Sense - Make sure your emails are read

The Seventh Sense integration allows you to use your data to create personalised delivery times of every email sent from HubSpot Sales and HubSpot Marketing.

From using HubSpot engagement data to reduce email fatigue to optimising mail so that it doesn't end up in the spam folder, you can now send the right email to the right person at the right time...every time.

Just last year, HubSpot announced that they were launching a new integration for the Shopify store. Currently in a limited beta mode, the integration means that Shopify sellers can bring in sales data from their stores to the HubSpot platform where they can dissect and analyse it in order to boost their marketing tactics. And segment contact lists accordingly.

This gives sellers deeper insight into how best to retain them. HubSpot's automation tools can be used to trigger personalised emails, such as post-purchase follow-ups, review requests and abandoned cart recovery.

You can read more about how the new Shopify integration can help sellers and their marketing department here.
